Program Description

Event Details

Have you ever seen, the tail of a whale?
The black and white patterns beneath the tail.
Every humpback’s pattern is unique
And to many it looks like Ancient Greek.
But for scientists, we tell them apart
And many of them have stolen our hearts
Meet Nile, my favorite, join me and see
How fascinating humpback whales can be.

When you come to the library for your 30-minute time slot, you will get to go inside Nile and learn about how whales and humans are similar and different. Cynde will also have artifacts that you can touch like baleen, teeth and bones.

You are registering to be assigned a 30-minute time slot (either 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, or 2:30). The assigned time will be emailed to you prior to the day of the event. When you arrive at the library at your scheduled time, we will spend time both inside and outside Nile talking about whales and how we are similar and different. Kids will have time to ask questions. For adults that don't sign up to go in the whale, there are signs for you to look at. There are also postcards that the kids can color afterwards to either send to a friend or keep as a souvenir.

Registration is REQUIRED for each person who wants to see inside the whale. Participants must be age 5 or older.
